Starting Situation
The regenerative desulphurization method developed by the joint EU research center in Ispra / Italy
manufactures sulphur acid and hydrogen as products resulting out of the desulphurization process. The
method successfully tested on laboratory scale was transposed with a fuel gas throughput of 32.000 m3
(i.N.)/h. The place for setting up the pilot plant was the Saras Refinery in Sarroch, Sardinia.


Results
The EDP supported operation manual serves as a practical guide for the user; it is especially convenient
for the user because of its clear organization using tables, and indexes and it is very easy to update.

Processing Time
1988 thru 1991
